Commissions

“Moving away from Chicago, we wanted to take something with us that captured the vibe – gritty and vibrant, urban but homey – of the city, and especially our neighborhood, Rogers Park… Emily’s brushwork brings it all to life. Our painting shows the balance of the real and imagined Chicago we hold in our hearts.” - Ann and Hector, commissioned Supermercado

I am now accepting commissioned fine art projects for 2012-2013. Specialties include urban landscapes, genre scenes and portraiture (people and pets). Mediums available are oil painting on canvas or watercolor on paper. Watercolors on paper may be framed upon request.

A few examples:

The Process

I take photographs on location or use digital images that you provide. The proposed composition and work in progress is then e-mailed to you at specified phases for approval. Turn-around time for an oil painting can range from 1 to 6 months depending on the size and complexity; about 4-6 weeks for a watercolor.

Pricing

Prices are based on size, complexity and media (custom frames can be added to any order). Generally, oils start at approximately 22″ to 24″ on the shortest side and watercolors about 10 – 14″ on shortest side.

Oil paintings start at $1200; Watercolors start at $400. Framing and shipping are optional and should be requested in advance. For Chicago residents, artworks can be delivered at no charge. Request a quote »
